Rough Diamonds

Deep in the outback, a girl and her mother are distancing themselves from the adulterous man of the family, when grizzled cattle-rancher Mike (a single father, as it happens) puts their car in the garage and offers them lodgings while it's fixed. You can see where this is headed: comedy of manners, attraction of opposites, slow-burning romance. Indeed, that's about the size of it. Mike is the sort of role Burt Reynolds or Clint Eastwood might have taken in their redneck days, but Jason Donovan is hardly the type. Mundane and mediocre.
